If we chart the visits to sites that provide gas station comparison shopping (sites like gasbuddy.com) against average U.S. gas prices (all grades), we find examples of short-lived hyper sensitivity in September 2005 when retail prices crossed the $3.00 per gallon line, and then again in May 2006 as we approached that same price. It’s interesting to note that subsequent surges past $3.00 per gallon have been met with ever declining visits to gas comparison sites.
